Progression of Nazi Policies Against Jews
The Nazi regime systematically implemented increasingly severe policies against Jews and other minorities from 1933 onwards. This page outlines the chronological progression of these Nazi Germany policies towards Jews and minorities.
1933-1934:
- SA boycotted Jewish shops
- Jewish books were burned
- Jewish civil servants, lawyers, and teachers were dismissed from their positions
1935:
- Jewish shops were marked and had separate seating areas
- The Nuremberg Laws stripped Jews of civil rights, including the right to join the army
Definition: Nuremberg Laws - A set of antisemitic and racist laws enacted in Nazi Germany in 1935, which institutionalized many of the racial theories prevalent in Nazi ideology.
1938:
- Jews were forced to register their wealth and property
- They were compelled to change their names
- Kristallnacht occurred, marking a significant escalation in violence against Jews
Highlight: The impact of Kristallnacht on Jewish life in Germany was profound, causing division even among Nazi leadership. While Hitler and Goebbels approved of the actions, Göring and Himmler did not.
1939:
- 150,000 Jews were deported
- Mass arrests took place, with 30,000 Jews sent to concentration camps
The effectiveness of these policies varied:
- The public initially reacted negatively to SA boycotts and harassment of Jews
- By the start of World War II, Jews were effectively stateless
- Eugenics and antisemitism were taught in schools, indoctrinating the younger generation
- Approximately 130,000 Jews fled Germany
- Censorship meant the full extent of the persecution was not widely known
- Fear of the SS and Gestapo kept many people quiet, even if they disagreed with the policies
Vocabulary: Eugenics - The pseudoscientific study of how to arrange reproduction within a human population to increase the occurrence of heritable characteristics regarded as desirable.
This progression of policies demonstrates the systematic nature of Nazi persecution, gradually isolating and dehumanizing Jewish and other minority populations in Germany.
Nazi Persecution of Jews and Minorities
The Nazi regime in Germany implemented a series of increasingly harsh policies against Jews and other minority groups they deemed "subhuman." These policies were rooted in the Nazi ideology of Aryan supremacy and had devastating consequences for targeted populations.
Definition: "Untermenschen" - A term used by Nazis to describe people they considered racially or socially inferior, including Jews, Slavs, Roma , and others.
Key aspects of Nazi persecution included:
- Sterilization: Approximately 400,000 people with mental or physical disabilities were forcibly sterilized to prevent them from reproducing.
- Euthanasia: The secret killing of around 70,000 people, including 5,200 children, with mental or physical disabilities.
- Concentration Camps: Many minority groups, including Jews, beggars, homosexuals, prostitutes, and Roma, were sent to concentration camps.
Highlight: The persecution affected every aspect of life for targeted groups, including education, travel, marriage, political rights, employment, and property ownership.
By 1939, Jews were required to carry identification cards with a "J" stamped on their passports. They faced daily harassment and humiliation.
Example: Kristallnacht was a pivotal event where Jewish businesses, homes, and synagogues were destroyed, marking an escalation in the persecution.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

This app has made me feel so much more confident in my exam prep, not only through boosting my own self confidence through the features that allow you to connect with others and feel less alone, but also through the way the app itself is centred around making you feel better. It is easy to navigate, fun to use, and helpful to anyone struggling in absolutely any way.

I know a lot of apps use fake accounts to boost their reviews but this app deserves it all. Originally I was getting 4 in my English exams and this time I got a grade 7. I didn’t even know about this app three days until the exam and it has helped A LOT. Please actually trust me and use it as I’m sure you too will see developments.
